Trump 47

Kinda hard to blame the guy for not order flags lowered to half staff when they are already there.
Ain't gonna stop people from trying.
I (I think you also...) have said in here before; there's plenty of real, legitimate things to harp on Trump & his folks for without having to try to make everything about him.
But that's the way it goes; R's did the same for Biden/Obama. It'll continue for the foreseeable future too I imagine.

Valid point; however, we all know if charlie would’ve died during Cheney “Half staff” tRump would’ve signed executive order saying “no more Dick, this is for charlie now!”
Kidding not kidding
 
This is happening along with threatening to invade a different sovereign nation to go after “narco terrorist”.

And nobody says a thing. The congress, the courts, and the citizens have abdicated our responsibility to stop this. If we as a nation responded with outrage like we should, he would be forced to stop. Instead, it is in a few papers, this attorney, and nothing else.

Trump said on Truth Social that Hernández has been treated “very harshly and unfairly.”
WTF does that even mean? Our federal prisons are too harsh for narcoterrorists? How does the press and the people let him do this crap? He is sending people to El Salvador and complaining about our prisons being too harsh and we do nothing?

@milehighpoke has been making statements here that I'll be honest I thought were a little over the top when he made them. But, I was wrong. This admistration is a clear and present danger to the existence of our nation as a democratic republic.

I am a pessimist. Always have been. We can be up 28 w 10 minutes to play and I’m counting possessions to see how we can still lose. Call it the Chris Rockins Effect.

For the last month my impending sense of doom has only magnified. I just don’t see how we aren’t heading for some really tough economic times. October 2025 the US set a record for largest monthly deficit to begin a US fiscal year. Even bigger than pandemic induced October 2020.

We are hemorrhaging jobs. Inflation won’t go away and is set to get worse bc pre tariff inventory is almost gone. And it’s not just inflation at the check out register. Every single damn bit of insurance type I own have seen premiums go up by at least 10% and in some cases almost 33%.

Our government is now threatening US Citizens w deportation & outright talking about ethnic cleansing as official policy.

Then you pile on what we are doing internationally.

I just don’t see how this ends and we are only 10 months into this administration.
 

He once boasted that he would “stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.” He accepted a $1 million bribe from El Chapo to allow cocaine shipments to pass through Honduras. A man was killed in prison to protect him.

At the federal trial of Juan Orlando Hernández in New York, testimony and evidence showed how the former president maintained Honduras as a bastion of the global drug trade. He orchestrated a vast trafficking conspiracy that prosecutors said raked in millions for cartels while keeping Honduras one of Central America’s poorest, most violent and most corrupt countries.

Last year, Mr. Hernández was convicted on drug trafficking and weapons charges and sentenced to 45 years in prison. It was one of the most sweeping drug-trafficking cases to come before a U.S. court since the trial of the Panamanian strongman Gen. Manuel Noriega three decades before.

But on Friday, President Trump announced that he would pardon Mr. Hernandez, 57, who he said was a victim of political persecution, though Mr. Trump offered no evidence to support that claim. It would be a head-spinning resolution to a case that for prosecutors was a pinnacle, striking at the heart of a narcostate.

How about we put him on a Venezuelan boat in the Caribbean and deal with him accordingly? Apparently this administration does not consider that harsh treatment of narco-terrorists.

Trump's abject hypocrisy stinks to high heaven. And then Sen. Mullin compounds it:
